Our most advanced experience, reserved for the strongest and most experienced riders.

For most of the week you’ll chase lift-accessed powder, trees and off-piste across Sapporo’s home mountains and Rusutsu, hunting untracked lines all day without the hike. What sets this trip apart is one dedicated day of proper backcountry touring, stepping through the gates at Teine or Kokusai and leaving the resort behind entirely. That one day is something special.
